I haven't done many films. But with every movie, I try to showcase a different side of me through a character.

When I do film, I really take on roles and I take on characters.

I like movies about people and movies with characters; that's what I'm drawn to as a person who likes to create these characters within the story, but I like it all, really.

What always leads me in terms of my movies are characters.

I feel like, with most filmmakers of my generation, I like the over-the-top stuff. I like to be wacky and really in your face.

I like films that take their time a little bit more and don't show you all of their cards right away, characters that are conflicted and contradicting and seem one way at first and then suddenly turn out to be something else.

My movies are unadorned, they're not particularly fancy, I think they're kind of workmanlike in some ways, focusing on the writing and the acting.

I don't actually sit down and write, but I just have a lot of different ideas about films and making movies.

What I love about film is that everybody often connects to something so different, and things you couldn't anticipate when you were making the film, so you just make it as honest as possible.

I offer originality: you don't know what my films are like until you go to them. I think that's the reason I've been getting all this attention.
